When the people are rudely torn from their trance like state and revolt en masse. When they turn on their TVs and there's nothing but static. When they suddenly don't get any 'bars' on their mobile phones. When power cuts out and doesn't come back for weeks. When they need cops or an ambulance but no one shows up. When they run out of food because their neighbors stole the little they had left. When they have to bury family members in their back yard, so the coyotes don't eat them.

You either have food, or you don't. You either have sufficient force to take, or keep, the food, or you don't. You either live, or you die. Simple. See?
But those fat fucks spend their entire days gorging on food and sperg the fuck out when they don't get to stuff their fat flaps with food.
